More Asimovs

I definitely do not have the time (or, for that matter, the desire) to read all of Asimov's books...but since I've enjoyed his Science Fiction works so much, I found myself wondering if I could read all of his Science Fiction Novels. Well, of course Wikipedia has a page for that, so I had a look; there were 29 Science Fiction novels listed. In alphabetical order. To wit:

The Caves of Steel

The Currents of Space

David Starr, Space Ranger

The End of Eternity

Fantastic Voyage

Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain

Forward the Foundation

Foundation

Foundation and Earth

Foundation and Empire

Foundation's Edge

The Gods Themselves

Lucky Starr and the Big Sun of Mercury

Lucky Starr and the Moons of Jupiter

Lucky Starr and the Oceans of Venus

Lucky Starr and the Pirates of the Asteroids

Lucky Starr and the Rings of Saturn

The Naked Sun

Nemesis

Nightfall

Norby, the Mixed-Up Robot

Pebble in the Sky

The Positronic Man

Prelude to Foundation

Robots and Empire

The Robots of Dawn

Second Foundation

The Stars, Like Dust

The Ugly Little Boy


Not too intimidating. And I red-ed the ones I'd already read, and light red-ed the ones I'm currently reading (and bolded the ones I currently own), and that left only 18 books. Six of which I intend to read to Joe in the near future (the Lucky Starrs), and another two of which (the other Robot novels) I intended to read for myself. Leaving only 10. One of which is a short children's book. So yeah...I could do that.


P.S. He also wrote 383 short stories, many of which were Science Fictiony. Hmmmm.


UPDATE: Read some more, red-ed some more. Now 20 read, 9 to go. Definitely do-able.
